New Tork, Oct. 24. Sophomores In

Chancellor Henry M. McCracken la re

The new rule requests the students to

By John E. Lathrop.
Chicago, Oct. 24. Impartial judgment
today gives Indiana to ' Bryan. His
status has been tested in many ways,
always showing Taft has lost the state.
Bryan's plurality is estimated at from
16,000 up. Late polls at both head
quarters show such a result
Indiana has about 1,000 townships,
with an average of 7S0 voters each. The
average township change from Roose
velt in 1904 to Bryan in 1908 is be
lieved to be SO, giving a total change
of 50,000, or 100,000 gain by transferring
one side to the other. This gives the
state to Bryan, according to the present
calculation, ueyonci a reasonaoie aouDt.
The entire state is experiencing an
upheaval. Besides the extreme dissatis
faction of the Fairbanks following with
Taft's nomination and- the popularity
of Bryan among all classes, local causes
are in operation to accelerate the move
ment towards tsryan.
. Coercion aad Bribery.
Taffs managers have virtually con
fessed they are losing on straight-out
campaign , arguments, by abandoning
everything but the coercive method of
attempting to frighten voters and try
ing tne siusn iunu, exactly as iney aia
in 1S9 and 1900, when the "full dinner
pall" was the argument. It ts believed
that the prevailing depression now
tends to prevent the Republicans from
making a success of the scar of wage
earners. Tom Marshall, Democrat will be i
elected governor almost certainly. Wat
son, tbe Republican nominee, was one
of Cannon's personal followers in th
house, which brings Into the Indiana
campaign more than elsewhere the Issue
of Cannon's domination of the bouse
and the failure of the Republican con
gress to pursue a policy of genuine
remedies for sbuses. Marshall will lead
